little squirrel

Episode 9 : Betrayal

*** the squirrel begins his story of when he was a human ***

Squirrel : yes I was once a human a special one at that, I was a well known and probably the best magician of my time. I do go for talent shows, where I win a lot of prizes, I became so rich because of my magic tricks, anywhere I go, I attracted crowd even before I start my performance. I was once invited to the president birthday at that time, well I had no friends because of the way I was brought up, but my enemies where many, both physical and spiritual. I remember being attacked by another magician on one of my journeys to a show. that particular day, I was in my vehicle, then what seems to be a black smoke from the ground began to follow me from behind, but I was lucky I saw it earlier, cause if I had seen it early I would have had a terrible accident. that smoke is called ‘smoke of death' no one can escape it even though you sight hundred miles away, but as a magician I know what I had to do. another while I was in my hotel room, I was attacked by a witch who came into my room in the form of the hotel's server. And I will say I was very lucky that day cause she was a powerful one, she looked like a princess. but inward she was half human half snake. Later I git to find out that they where either after my staff or my heart.

Well through all that I could still boast of myself as a true magician, but everything change when I accepted a boy named Greg. I met him on one of my trip to England. he was standing by the road side, looking very hungry, in my normal reaction when see such things, I do take as a privilege to help the poor, little did I know I was entering into danger, when I came towards him, I saw his little green eyes, little did I know that those where the eyes of an old wizard, I took pity on him and asked if had parents, he said no and begged me if he could be my apprentice, I didn't think twice before accepting him, he followed me that day to my show that day, after I month things began to change, sometimes I look at him I felt like as if a dark force was hidden inside him and was trying to break through but needed a key, I could not understand it at that time

You see, he got me to trust him more than anything, I kind of entrusted most of things in his like my wonder stick and so many other things, but I never knew he was after something else.

Jack : what was that ?

Squirrel : My grandpa's staff of honour, one of the most priceless magical material on earth, story has it that my grandfather fought against a deadly spirit, and you know for a spirit to go out of existence, it needs to be born or you can lock them in a far dimension away from this earth, and that's what my grandfather did, he locked this spirit in a dimension, but I never knew it had gained access to a human body, but needed the staff to free himself completely. so it happened that on this particular day I was feeling very weak and I needed to go to a show that I have been paid for, I managed to stand up on that day but on my way out I fainted, but seriously I have never fainted in my life before, so I was wondering what was the problem, only to wake and fond out that the neckless which is the key to the box holding the staff is gone, I was shocked then I rushed to my safe, only to find Greg has turned into a monster I cannot explain, I questioned that why did he do this to me, but he replied in a thick demonic voice with my grandfather's staff glowing in his hand, I did not know what happened, but the next minute as I was about to attacked him, he turned me into what I am now and threw me into another dimension, I woke up just to see your grandfather staring at me.

Jack : what? my grandfather ?.
